Donna, Retreat Guest

This was so incredibly relaxing & I learned so much about how I can improve my symptoms.

I loved the location, the intimacy & you Julie, you made this so special!

I would tell anyone who is menopausal ‘you must go & make time for yourself!’

It’s all been wonderful & I cannot wait to do this again!”

Personal Coaching

Julie Court Essex Menopause Coach

One-on-one personal coaching goes a long way in helping manage menopause. Hear from the women who experienced first-hand the benefits of personalised strategies and easy to implement support.

Attending Julie’s workshops and having one to one coaching with her has been a life-changing experience for me. She’s listened carefully to my needs and tailored a plan that has made a significant impact on my professional and personal lifestyle. Her advice has helped me to deal with anxiety, perimenopause and ADHD, while reclaiming some life-work balance, applying and getting a promotion at work and improving my overall wellbeing and self-esteem. Her strategies are designed around my own lifestyle, so I have been able to implement them daily. I look forward to continuing working with Julie as I’ve been able to feel like the woman I’ve always wanted to be and I’m forever grateful for that.

I just wanted to say a big thank you – although a bit belatedly – and update you on my progress.

I have lost the stone I was aiming for and still losing. I’m fitter and healthier than I ever was and have a healthier approach to food (and alcohol!) My relationships with my family have gone to another level and my confidence with people in general has changed beyond belief. 

The journey I started with you hasn’t been easy and it’s been longer than I anticipated. But it’s been a solid trek upwards that has proven to be a real lifestyle change.

Julie, without you giving me the road map and guidance on how to use it I wouldn’t be where I am now.  So once again thank you. “

S, One-to One Coaching Client

Having worked with Julie, in 2022 I feel that I learnt a great deal of valuable life changing information. I went to Julie for support around my relationship with food mainly sugar and I was feeling low sluggish and negative.

Julie has taught me to make small changes to my diet and lifestyle. The main thing was to be kinder to myself and take small steps when implementing some great ideas into my life. There was no talk of dieting but instead some fantastic tips and advice to make my life easier and more organised, this then led to more healthy eating and more varied eating. Its hard to put this into a review as writing isn’t a strong point.

I now have a a little book that has all my notes in if from my work with Julie, I refer back to this when I need a nudge back in the right direction.

If you are mid life and need some straight talking and supportive advice and guidance I can 100% recommend this wonderful lady who will work with you to support your goals. Julie brought my sparkle back.”

Bianca, One-to One Coaching Client

I was so happy to of found Julie when I was in need of nutritional support. I was very wrong to believe that was all I would receive. Julie has helped me to make changes that have improved my physical and mental well-being so dramatically, I used to shy away from photographs disgusted at what I would see, now I stand and smile for them.

Julie helped me make small changes to my diet that didn’t feel too overwhelming, she taught me positive self-worth and the menopausal symptoms I presented with when I first started working with Julie(too many to list here) are now managed and under control.

No Julie doesn’t have a magic wand but what she does have is a set of skills through her training that are life changing and with them she can help you build up your tool box to be the best version of yourself and for that I am eternally grateful to this beautiful kind lady 😊

Lisa, One-to-One Coaching Client

I was sceptical which I did admit 😆 but I hold my hands up! Julie is lovely and has helped me in so many ways . I am looking at food differently , choosing different foods and picking much less. I am being easier on myself and have plans to follow to continue to help improve my nutrition and general well being.

She helped me with starting HRT and I think this is going to be a game changer as after 2 weeks I am already seeing results . I didn’t know where to start with it all and Julie has kindly helped and directed me with all of my worries and given me new hope.

If like me you feel fat , low and wonder how you are ever going to get out of that hole , ring Julie now! Don’t delay . It seems like a lot of money to book it all in and for me hassle to even do it but it’s worth every penny and the hassle was all part of my issue of not giving myself any time. It’s easier to ignore yourself and get busy with life ! Stop for a bit and give Julie a go!

I feel excited to get on with my life again now and can’t thank Julie enough for putting up with my miserable face to begin with ! I’m sleeping , feeling lighter and I have seen my old self start to return. I still have lots to work on and I’m going to !

Thanks Julie! Give her a call it may be just what YOU need !”

Lisa, One-to One Coaching Client

I cannot begin to tell you how much you have helped. I am not sure what has triggered in my mind but your technique, if that’s the right word, and expertise allowed me the freedom to explore my own behaviours and perceptions around food and the association with how it makes me feel.

As I said to you, I did not expect this when I booked my first appointment but am so enthused by this fresh approach.

Julie, One-to One Coaching Client

As you know we went on a mini break and on that mini break I definitely saw changes in myself, my skin is so clear, my energy levels are up and I felt good about my body! I had no sugar cravings and did not over do it on alcohol and made healthy food choices !

I felt amazing and this is thanks to you in highlighting to make small changes that have made huge differences in my body and mind ! I am continuing on my journey of small changes !! And will keep you updated on my progress! But thank you so much !!

Charmaine, One-to-One Coaching Client

I’m happy to report that my little wins have continued since we last spoke!

I have now completely cut out sugar (apart from fruit) I’ve lost a stone since September and have noticed a decrease in my tummy size- which makes me feel amazing!

Energy levels are really consistent throughout the day and for the first time in years I feel like I am in complete control around food!

I can’t thank you enough for starting this mindset shift and showing me that committing to the smallest habit changes, can reap the biggest rewards.

With heartfelt thanks and very best wishes for a wonderful Christmas time.”

Corporate Wellness Initiatives

Improving women’s health in the corporate world is a step towards a healthier, happier work environment. Read how my corporate wellness initiatives have been instrumental in empowering women at their workplace.

We wanted to deliver a menopause talk as part of our staff wellbeing programme. Julie presented a very knowledgeable and engaging session on menopause, she shared lots of valuable nutritional advice and also some really useful tips on simple lifestyle changes which can make real positive improvements on how we feel.

Julie’s open discussion was very well received by staff, she also made suggestions for the workplace and how we, as an organisation, can support our staff to manage their symptoms. A highly recommended workshop!

Fiona Emanuele, Colchester Borough Homes

Thanks so much for your amazing workshop everyone came away feeling so much more informed and we had fun too. I think we all really appreciated the chance to talk honestly and openly and find the tools and courage needed to ask for help and push forward even if a few obstacles are thrown in the way. It would be nice to have a magic Menopause pill but we know that’s not the case, but you helped us to understand what’s happening to our bodies and what we can do to support our own wellbeing, I think that’s hugely empowering.”
